Although the Monarchs only scored four points in the fourth quarter, Medrano’s trey proved to be key.

Junior LAKAILA AQUININGOC-DAVID scored 13 points and had two steals for Santana.

“The second quarter was rough, nothing we shot went in,” Aquiningoc-Dvid said. “Everything they threw up went in which was frustrating and I think we let that get to us a little.

“In the second half, I think that’s when we really started understanding that time was running out and we needed to put everything we had into the game.

“We just came up a bit short because we started too late. This loss was a rough one especially knowing what’s on the line. But don’t get me wrong, we’ll be in the gym working for our next game versus Steele Canyon.”
